Haven't tried the paid DLC but the 2.0 fix for the OG game is very good. Haven't really played it since the buggy mess at launch but FINALLY it's a great game.

I mean, I’m sure there are improvements in the world and whatnot, but I’m thinking about my save file where I’m going back for different endings. If I load that up, can I just put my skill points back where I want them and continue clearing endings?

Started again last night (PS5 - Ray Tracing off). Can't say I'm really noticing that much difference. Same janky ass world, but super immersive.

Anyone who has installed the update and opened a save file, what happens? Is your skill tree reset into the new format and you have to respec yourself? Is there an option to switch to the new skill tree? Does anything else change?

The skill trees are very different, so as SG says you get all your perk points refunded and have to reassign them. There are also separate skills that unlock as you play, depending on your play style, which are buffs and stat boosts of various kinds.

Have they sorted the aiming on the ps5 version? I played it for a bit and the aiming was terrible.

Download update on GoG now. In hindsight wish I’d gone Steam but I saved a few quid at the time.

I'm finding it way better. The AI is way improved and the customised perk tree is amazing. I can now play it fine with raytracing on low, the bugs are gone, the driving and police response aren't as janky. It's mainly the skill tree though. The level of freedom it offers to do stuff your way is finally up to speed.

Cool. I never got that far into the game when I initially tried, so the skill stuff wont seem as apparent to me. Happy to get into it now though! This must look bloody amazing on PC.

Cheers. Trying to work out if I should hold off on the update to finish the last couple of endings or not. It sounds like it doesn’t matter too much either way.

I'm interested just to see the new skill trees.

Might boot this up just to look at the pretties.

3070 - just updating GeForce driver now.

Tried that path tracing. It obliterated my graphics card. The benchmark ended up running at 24fps.

I've got all the normal RT goodies on and getting around 50 to 60fps.

Went for the street kid this time (last time did Corpo), just did the intro and met up with Jackie. Gonna leave it for now as FFXVI and Starfield stories to finish, but this will be next on the list.

Think you can respec at least once for free, but not sure if it’s unlimited.

It's a shame this came out before it was ready because it's a classic. The side missions are as good as any in The Witcher and when the story, atmosphere and visuals align it's absolutely top tier.

Can't recall how police worked before, but yeah, it just feels like a GTA clone when trying to reduce wanted level.

One question, when I kill wanted crime, the police come after me still. Am I doing it wrong? Do I still benefit in some way?
